To find the volume of a rectangular prism when given the surface area, we need more information than just the surface area. The surface area of a rectangular prism is calculated using the formula 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h are the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively. Without knowing at least one of these dimensions, we cannot determine the volume of the prism.
It is not possible. For example, the prism could be tall and thin, or short and thick, and either way have the same surface area.
surface area=(perimeter of base)x(height of the shape)+(area of the base)x(2)
Sure thing, honey. The formula for the area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l is the length, w is the width, and h is the height. Just plug in those values and you'll have your area faster than you can say "Golden Girls marathon."
The surface area of a rectangular prism can be calculated by adding the areas of all six faces. The formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism is 2lw + 2lh + 2wh, where l, w, and h represent the length, width, and height of the prism, respectively. This formula accounts for the two faces of each dimension (length, width, and height) on the rectangular prism.
Squared. When you find surface area, you are only finding the area of the shapes that make up the three-denominational shape.
You cannot.
To find the surface area of an equilateral triangular prism you take the area of the rectangular sides and the triangular bases and add them up and your done.
It is not possible. For example, the prism could be tall and thin, or short and thick, and either way have the same surface area.
The formula will depend on what it is that you are trying to find: the volume or the surface area.

u have to find the surface area for individual sides. so lxw for each individual side
surface area=(perimeter of base)x(height of the shape)+(area of the base)x(2)
The equation for the surface area of a rectangular prism is: A = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh Replace the variables you know, and solve for the remaining variable.
Volume of rectangular prism = area of base x height
